I'm safe, dont worry.
For those of you who are worried about me (ahem.. mother) I just want to let you know that I am very safe here in Bucharest. Everyday the local police stop by the school to check up on us. It seems that ever since the London bombings security has beefed up around the world and because Bucharest Christian Academy is a large and concentrated group of foreigners the police - at the request of the American Embassy - come by every morning to check for suspicious behavior, visitors or packages.
In addition a local missionary has provided me with my first tube of pepper spay - not that I'm going to be attacked - but mostly for the street dogs who will bite if provoked. Seriously they are everywhere and although they are usually docile - and sleeping under cars, they do bite. The positive side of the note is that there is no rabies in Romania.
So don't worry, I have police protection and pepper spray.
